Airmar SS175C-0-HW 0d Tilt High Wide CHIRP with Humminbird 9-Pin

The Airmar SS175C-0-HW 0d Tilt is a top - notch high wide CHIRP transducer with a Humminbird 9 - Pin. Model SS175C - 0 - HW, it's a depth and fast - response water - temperature sensor. With 1 kW power, it can reach a maximum depth of 152 m (500'). The high frequency ranges from 150 kHz to 250 kHz, offering a constant 25° beamwidth and 100 kHz of total bandwidth from one transducer. It covers the popular 200 kHz fishing frequency and more. High frequency means excellent shallow water performance, clear bottom details, and great fish target separation. The high wide beamwidth gives more coverage under the boat to spot fish in the upper water column. The low - profile thru - hull housing, made of stainless steel, is suitable for fiberglass, wood, or metal stepped, planing, or displacement hulls. It provides good resolution at speed when installed correctly. Recommended for boats up to 11 m (36'). Also available in transom - mount (TM185HW), in - hull (M285HW), and bronze housing (B175HW) models. It features exclusive Xducer ID® technology. Airmar's unique wide beam and high frequency Chirp - ready transducers offer more coverage under the boat. The high band's fixed 25° beam across 150 - 250 kHz frequency range results in superior resolution and double the coverage compared to most high frequency narrow beam options. It's perfect for both inshore and pelagic fishing down to 500'. Tilted element transducers correct for hull deadrise to ensure maximum echo returns.

Using this Airmar transducer is easy. First, make sure to choose the right installation type according to your boat's hull. For the thru - hull model, drill a 98 mm (3 - 7/8') hole as specified. When installing, ensure it's almost flush to the hull to let the tilted element correct for the hull deadrise and orient the ceramic element horizontally. This will help get the maximum echo returns. As for use, it can measure depth and water temperature quickly. Just turn it on and it'll start working. When it comes to maintenance, keep the acoustic window clean. Since it's made of urethane, use a soft cloth to wipe it gently. Check the stainless - steel housing regularly for any signs of corrosion, especially if you use the boat in saltwater. Also, be aware that the recommended boat size is up to 11 m (36'), so don't use it on larger boats for optimal performance. The hull deadrise should be up to 24°. If you're not sure about installation or operation, it's a good idea to consult the manufacturer's customer service.
